you have to catch the variables in the PHP script… try this:

other than supporting php, do I need to contact the server/host and let them know I am running a php mail form? (so they can change any settings if need be?)  
Thanks.

no. you shouldn’t need to. but if you have everything set right and your form isn’t working then your host may have disabled the mail() function. It happens and if they do then they won’t just enable it for your use…
